Ariana Grande may be preparing to step away from the spotlight, but she’s certainly not doing it alone.
As the pop star, 33, continues her Eternal Sunshinetour, her brother Frankie Grande shared a heartfelt tribute after watching her perform in Chicago alongside their mother, Joan.
“Family forever,” Frankie captioned a video of Ariana performing One Last Time. “I will have your back until the end of time. I am so proud of you and so happy for you.”
He continued, “Last night was a beautiful celebration of your artistry and the magnificent, eternal sunshine family you have built and created. It was a magical night. You are magical.”
“I am so so happy I was there to see you shine on this tour one last time,” he added.
The emotional family moment comes after Ariana announced plans to take a break from public-facing work following the tour, citing “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” her representative said.
Her break has already affected her work plans. Ariana withdrew from Sunday in the Park with George, ending plans for her 2027 West End debut alongside Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
A source said Ariana is simply taking things “one step at a time” and isn’t putting pressure on herself to decide when she’ll return.
Meanwhile, fans may still get one more dose of Eternal Sunshine. Reports suggest her sold-out London shows could be turned into a concert special — potentially giving fans a front-row seat from home while Ariana takes some much-needed time off.
